LYNDHURST, N.J. – The Felician University baseball team matched a school record with its seventh consecutive victory on Tuesday afternoon, earning a 13-4 non-conference triumph over visiting Dowling College at the Lyndhurst Recreation Complex.

Junior right-hander JanCarlos Brito (West Hempstead, N.Y./West Hempstead) (1-0) was credited with the victory after pitching two innings of scoreless relief. Four Felician relievers combined to allow one run on four hits over six frames.

The Golden Falcons (12-13) erased a 3-0 deficit by scoring five times in the bottom of the third inning. After Caccavale's run-scoring double, Diesel tied the game with a two-run single. Two batters later, Felician took the lead for good on an RBI groundout by Brennan Price (Middlesex, N.J./Middlesex), and another run scored on the play on a Dowling throwing error.

Brito and freshman Matt Downey (Elizabeth, N.J./Elizabeth) kept the Golden Lions off the scoreboard in the middle innings, and the Golden Falcons broke the game open late. After Strickland's two-run triple in the sixth made the score 7-3, Felican plated six runs on seven hits in the seventh. Junior catcher Matt Kleinstein (Marlboro, N.J./Colts Neck) highlighted the rally with a two-run single.
